Your ignition is probably bad. It may be the ignition actuator rod, if your car has one. It can be replaced fairly easily and only costs around $40.00, but I've not worked on a GM ignition for a while, so I'm not sure it has one. If not, you may want to get a replacement ignition from a salvage yard

1) First thing: Why is water heater leaking? Where is the leak?http://waterheatertimer.org/Leaking-water-heater.htmlFor example, if you have electric water heater leaking from element, then replace element.Replace leaking TP valve.If water is leaking down vent pipe, and combustion chamber rusted out, then vent problem must be corrected.These are not covered by warranty.If tank is rusted out, then read below.

2) If water heater is rusted out after 4 years, you might have stray current corrosion.This happens when hot and cold pipes are not connected together with a ground wire, and/or if cold water pipe is not grounded to earth.This might not be covered by warranty.

3) Read water heater instruction manual for advisories.Tanks rust out when anode rod is depleted. Softened water depletes anode rod faster.Instruction manual says to check anode rod each year.Checking anode rod is like checking oil on an engine. If oil was never checked and engine burned up, the manufacturer will not honor the warranty.If anode rod is depleted, and tank is rusted out, the warranty might not cover the rusted tank since owner was supposed to check for anode depletion.

4) Anode rods can also be covered with calcium deposits and stop working.This night not have anything to do with water softener, but anode stops working and tanks rusts out.In any case the owner's manual probably says to check anode rod to prevent leaking from rusted tankhttp://waterheatertimer.org/Replace-anode-rod.html

Loosen anode rod on new tank before installing, and then inspect every 1-3 years, and 1-2 years if water is softened.Add a comment for more help.

Bacteria reacts with metal on anode rod, causing odor.Good news is that anode rod is still functioning, so water heater is not rusted.Once anode rod is depleted, you get no more odor, but tank is rusting and will need to be replaced.Changing anode rod periodically will let tank last much longer.http://waterheatertimer.org/9-ways-to-save-with-water-heater.html

Spray the fuel shutoff solenoid with, rust inhibitor, these have a history of rusting and binding, may have to take the arm loose and clean it with sandpaper. If this doesn't work , replace the relay mounted on the firewall> will be 2 relays mounted together. Then if that doesen't solve the problem, you will have to replace the solenoid. You can operate the solenoid manually also by pushing in on the rod when someone turns the ignition key on. Hope this helps, plase let me know
